You will be placed in a quiet room to receive the radiopharmaceutical agent by quick injection into the arm. Immediately following, for the concentration study, you will take a 15 minute computerized test of attention and focus. For the baseline study you will be instructed to rest quietly for 20-30 minutes. Then you will lie on the imaging table and the SPECT camera will slowly rotate around your head taking images of brain blood flow. You are not placed inside a tube. The time on the table is approximately 16-18 minutes. Your study will be interpreted by Dr. Klindt and the test results will be made available to you and your treatment professionals.
